All's quiet

Things have calmed down a bit. No double trips to the hospital. No frantic vacuuming. Less sneezing and coughing.

Vlad is doing well. He's weak. And he's tired of being weak. The hair is falling out slowly. He drove to the mailbox today and it tired him out briefly. He's got some numbness in his toes. Don't know whether that's circulation problems or some chemo side-effect. His fingertips still ache from a month of blood glucose tests in the hospital.

Tomorrow he goes to see Conlon. We think it's the marrow biopsy. I'm a little concerned about him driving himself down there and back, and walking through the maze of the med center. He assures me he'll be fine. Yikes.

Scott from McGrath Pest Control came to check the rat traps again today. No rats, dead or otherwise. He said he thinks we're ratless, but left the baited traps in the attic for good measure.

Vlad and I have kept everything very clean so far. Keeping fingers crossed.
